TERRACE TALK: Man City - Much to admire, but we’re still a work-in-progress

It was ultimately a disappointing first home defeat of the season, but you couldn’t accuse City of going down without a fight.  Literally, unfortunately.

While the performance of referee Anthony Taylor (an “Altrincham fan” from Wythenshawe, apparently) was enough to drive anyone to despair, City’s injury-time implosion was fairly spectacular by any measure.

Sergio Aguero’s wild lunge at David Luiz, followed by Fernandinho’s push on Cesc Fabregas, who fell comically, WWE-style, over an advertising hoarding, resulted in red cards for both.
